Description

Between Avignon and Arles, in Graveson, we built a photovoltaic greenhouse on behalf of the developer LR Développement.

  • Dimensions:
    • Height under the ridge: 5.2 m
    • Height under the gutter: 3.7 m
  • The greenhouse consists of 17 asymmetrical roofs with a recurring shed structure in glass, equipped with a continuous ventilation system at the ridge and one Solar Growing roof.

Optimization of Light Intake and Climate

  • The south-facing slope consists of 5 modules or glass panels.
    In collaboration with the engineering firm ACTEAM ENR, we designed a layout that maximizes light intake on the cultivation zones.
  • For optimal climate control, the greenhouse is also equipped with a Kairos climate computer, which regulates ventilation and creates a favorable growing environment.
  • Diffuse glass is used to improve light diffusion, ensuring the most homogeneous light distribution possible under the panels.
  • The façade cladding, installed by the client, consists of plastic film, part of which serves as a roll-up wall (2 m high) for additional ventilation and access.
